I'm in favor of this "solution" because, as you mentioned earlier, 
project_id/user_id aren't supposed to be restricted to UUID-only or 36 
characters anyway -- they come from the identity service and could be 
any string. We've been good about keeping with String(255) in the 
database schema for project_id/user_id originating from the identity 
service.

And, I noticed Instance.project_id is a StringField too [1]. Really, 
IMHO we should be consistent with this field type among the various 
objects for project_id/user_id.

Best,
